the rest of you this way, to our house.
LYCONIDES
By my troth, you’ve made an unfair
division; they’ve got the fattest lamb.
STROBILUS
But the fattest music-girl shall be given you then. Do you, therefore, go along with him, Phrygia[*]. And do you, Eleusium, step in-doors here, to our house.
LYCONIDES
O you crafty Strobilus,
have you pushed me off here upon this most miserly old fellow, where if I ask for anything, I may ask even to hoarseness before anything’s found me?
STROBILUS
’Tis very foolish, and ’tis thanklessly done, to do a service to you, when what you do goes for nothing.
LYCONIDES
But how so?
STROBILUS
Do you ask? In the first place then, there will be no confusion for you there in the house; if you want anything to use,
bring it from your own home, don’t lose your trouble in asking for it. But here, at our house, there’s great confusion, and a large establishment— furniture, gold, garments, silver vessels. If anything’s lost here (as I know
that you can easily[*] keep hands off—if nothing’s in your way), they may say, The cooks have stolen it; seize them, bind them, beat them, thrust them in the dungeon[*]. Nothing of that sort will happen to you, inasmuch as there will be nothing for you to steal. Follow me this way.
LYCONIDES
I follow.
STROBILUS
(knocking at the door of EUCLIO’S house.)
Ho, there Staphyla, come out and open the door.
STAPHYLA
(from within.)
Who calls there?
STROBILUS
Strobilus.
350
(Enter STAPHYLA.)
STAPHYLA
What do you want?
STROBILUS
For you to take in these cooks, and this music-girl, and these provisions for the wedding. Megadorus bade me take these things to Euclio.
STAPHYLA
Are you about to make this wedding, Strobilus, in honor of Ceres[*]?
STROBILUS
Why?
STAPHYLA
Because I don’t see any wine brought.
STROBILUS
Why, that will be brought just now, when he himself comes back from the market.
STAPHYLA
There’s no firewood here in our house.
LYCONIDES
There are the beams.
STAPHYLA
I’ faith, there are.
LYCONIDES
There is wood, then; don’t you be seeking it out of doors.
STAPHYLA
What, you unpurified fellow[*], although your business is with the fire,
for the sake of a dinner, or of your own hire, do you request us to set our house on fire?
LYCONIDES
I don’t ask you.
STROBILUS
Take them in-doors.
STAPHYLA
Follow me.
